Im Gegensatz zu schon vorliegenden Bänden geht es in diesem umfassenden, inhaltlich strukturierten Themenband durchgehend um Fördermöglichkeiten von Deutsch als Fremdsprache und Germanistik sowie Möglichkeiten der Stellungstärkung der deutschen Sprache. Dabei wird auch Bezug genommen auf Deutsch als Zweit- und als Muttersprache, soweit es für das jeweilige Thema oder Land relevant ist. Die insgesamt 57 Beiträge sind gegliedert in zwei Teile, von denen sich der erste (30 Beiträge) mit allgemeinen, übergreifenden Fragen befasst und der zweite mit nationalen und regionalen Besonderheiten. Dabei bilden die Fördermöglichkeiten jeweils die Leitfrage, die so umsichtig und präzise wie möglich beantwortet wird - bei allerdings möglichst klarer und ungeschminkter Darstellung von Unsicherheiten und Unwägbarkeiten. In den nations- oder regionsspezifischen Beiträgen werden die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zu den deutschsprachigen Ländern, einschließlich Tourismus, wie auch die konkurrierenden Fremdsprachen und die örtliche Fremdsprachenpolitik in die Analysen einbezogen. Alle Beiträge thematisieren auch, im Rahmen von Mehrsprachigkeitskonzepten, Fragen der Fairness gegenüber anderen Sprachen, sowohl den konkurrierenden internationalen als auch den nationalen oder subnationalen Sprachen - wobei die Fairness letztlich die Sprachgemeinschaften (nicht die Sprachen) betrifft. Bei den Förderungsvorschlägen kommen vor allem folgende Möglichkeiten in Betracht: Verstärkung von Beziehungen zu Unternehmen/Hochschulen/Schulen aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern, zu deren politischen Instanzen (Botschaften, Konsulaten) und Förderinstitutionen (z. B. Goethe-Institute, Österreich Institute), Aufzeigen von Beruf- und Bildungschancen, Stärkung von Lern- und Studienmotivation, Verbesserungen curricularer Regelungen und schulischer Verhältnisse, der Bildung von Lehrern und Hochschullehrern sowie der didaktisch-methodischen Qualität von Unterricht und Lehre. The essays all relate to potential ways to promote German as a foreign language and German studies, and to boost the status of the German language worldwide. At the same time, they consider concepts of multilingualism in the context of fairness to other language communities. The first part of the book examines general, broad aspects while the second part focuses on national and regional particularities.

In the nineteenth century, the search for the artistic, architectural and written monuments promoted by the French State with the aim to build a unified nation transcending regional specificities, also fostered the development of local or regional identitary consciousness. In Roussillon, this distinctive consciousness relied on a basically cultural concept of nation epitomised mainly by the Catalan language – Roussillon being composed of Catalan counties annexed to France in 1659. In The Antiquarians of the Nation , Francesca Zantedeschi explores how the works of Roussillon's archaeologists and philologists, who retrieved and enhanced the Catalan specificities of the region, contributed to the early stages of a ‘national’ (Catalan) cultural revival, and galvanised the implicit debate between (French) national history and incipient regional studies.

This collaborative work by two-well-known pronunciation specialists breaks new ground in presenting an applied, sociolinguistic orientation to pronunciation teaching and research that is both up-to-date and comprehensive in scope. It is a welcome addition to the pronunciation literature that should be on the reading lists of all language teachers and applied linguists.” —Rodney H. Jones, University of Reading, UK “This book makes a valuable contribution by connecting research and practice while providing a comprehensive scope. This is much appreciated given the extensive amount of research in the field as well as in related areas.” —Jose Antonio Mompean Gonzalez, University of Murcia, Spain This book offers contemporary perspectives on English pronunciation teaching and research in the context of increasing multilingualism and English as an international language. It reviews current theory and practice in pronunciation pedagogy, language learning, language assessment, and technological developments, and presents an expanded view of pronunciation in communication, education, and employment. Its eight chapters provide a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of pronunciation and the linguistic and social functions it fulfils. Topics include pronunciation in first and second language acquisition; instructional approaches and factors impacting teachers’ curriculum decisions; methods for assessing pronunciation; the use of technology for pronunciation teaching, learning, and testing; pronunciation issues of teachers who are second-language speakers; and applications of pronunciation research and pedagogy in L1 literacy and speech therapy, forensic linguistics, and health, workplace, and political communication. The chapters also critically examine the research base supporting specific teaching approaches and identify research gaps in need of further investigation. This rigorous work will provide an invaluable resource for teachers and teacher educators; in addition to researchers in the fields of applied linguistics, phonology and communication. Martha C. Pennington is Professorial Research Associate in Linguistics at the School for Oriental and African Studies and a Research Fellow in Applied Linguistics and Communication at Birkbeck College, both of the University of London, UK.

This volume contributes to a better understanding of both psycho- and sociolinguistic levels of multilingualism and their interplay in development and use. The chapters stem from an international group of specialists in multilingualism with chapters from Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain and the United States. The chapters provide an update on research on third language acquisition and multilingualism, and pay particular attention to new research concepts and the exploration of contact phenomena such as transfer and language learning strategies in diverse language contact scenarios. Concepts covered include dominant language constellations, mother tongue, germination factors and communicative competence in national contexts. Multilingual use as described and applied in the volume aims at demonstrating and identifying current and future challenges for research on third language acquisition and multilingualism. The third languages in focus include widely and less widely used official, minority and migrant languages in instructed and/or natural contexts, including Albanian, Arabic, Basque, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian, Spanish, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese, thereby mapping a high variety of language constellations.

This edited book compiles pedagogical practices and studies of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) from two sites: Spain, where CLIL has been widely implemented for more than a decade, and Japan, where the CLIL approach is still in its relative infancy, and quickly gaining momentum. Focusing on three aspects of the CLIL implementations: policy, practice and pedagogy, the authors describe how CLIL has evolved in distinctive socio-political, historical and cultural contexts. The chapters range across primary, secondary and tertiary education, and examine English language teaching and learning at both the macro level - through language education policy - and the micro level - with a focus on classroom interaction and pedagogy. This book fills a gap in the English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) literature, and will be of particular interest to language teachers, teacher trainers, and students and scholars of applied linguistics more broadly. Keiko Tsuchiya is Associate Professor at the School of International Liberal Arts, Yokohama City University, Japan. María Dolores Pérez Murillo is Associate Professor at the School of Education, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain.
